HEATING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 13, 1920.

Application filed November 24, 1919. Serial No. 340,263.

To all whom t may concern:

,e it known that I, PAULINE VIMER BANTA, a citizen of the United States, resid'- ing at Tampa, in the county of Hillsborough, State of Florida, have invented certain new a ud useful Improvement-s in Heating- Stoves; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the in vention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use same.

My invention relates to an improvement in heating stoves and more particularly to a stove wherein the heat is generated by means of a lamp.

It consists of the several features and in the construction, combination and arrangement of features as more fully hereafter described and claimed.

The object of the invention is to provide a stove which will confine, compress and direct the heat in such a manner that its volume and heating capacity will be increased to a maximum degree.

A further object is to provide a stove in which the heat generated thereby is used to the best advantage with very little if any waste.

A further object is to provide a stove which is simple, inexpensive and durable in construction, exceedingly easy to use and attractive in appearance.

Referring t-o the drawing,

Figure l is a perspective view of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line affof Fig. l.

In the drawings in which like reference characters denote like parts l represents the stove the body portion 2 of which comprises a central vertical tube 3 which is surrounded by a series of vertical tubes 4, preferably but of course the number may be increased or diminished to suit the conditions of use. These tubes 4- are seated on a lower air chamber 5, one half of each lower end being closed as at 6 by the top of the chamber 5 and the other half open as at 7 to the atmosphere or outer air and the chamber 5 being provided with suitable supporting legs 8, with an opening 9 in the bottom for the reception of the chimney of a suitable lamp l() by which heat is to be generated, and a central opening 11 which registers and furnishes communication with the central tube 8. An upper closed air chamber l2, preferably about one half the size of the lower air chamber, is provided with which the central tube 3 and the tubes 4l communicate.

rIhe object in having the upper air chamber smaller than the lower air chamber is to cause the compression and increase the volume of heat which is generated in the lower air chamber and this compression or pressure forces the increased volume of heat down and out of the series of tubes i.

In use the lamp or other heat generating device is lighted and the air in the lower air chamber is heated and forced up the central air tube 3 into the upper air chamber 12 where it is compressed, and the pressure caused by such compression forces the heated air down the series of tubes a and out at the bottom, thereof, into the room or other place desired to be heated.

I do not wish to be understood limiting myself to the specific details of construe tion and arrangement as herein described and illustrated, as it is manifest that variations and modifications may be made in the features of construction and arrangement, in the adaption of the device to various con ditions of use, without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention and improvements. I therefore reserve the right to all suoli variations and modifications as properly fall within the scope of my invention and the terms of the following claims.

What I claim is l. In a heating stove, an upper air chamber, a lower air chamber, a central tube communicating with both of said air chambers and a series of tubes communicating with the said upper and lower air chambers, said tubes mounted on the lower air chamber and having a portion of their lower ends closed by said chamber and the remaining portion being open to the atmosphere.

2. In a heating stove, an upper air chamber, a lower air chamber, a central tube conilnunicating with both of said air chambers and a series of tubes surrounding the said central tube and connecting and communieating with said upper and lower air chambers, said tubes situated above the lower air chamber and having a portion of their lower ends closed and the remaining portion being open to the atmosphere.

3. In a heating stove, an upper air chamber, a lower air chamber, a central tube comniunieating with both of said air chambers and a series of tubes surrounding the eentral tube and communicating with the Said air chambers, said tubesv mounted lon 4the lowe'r air chamber and extending laterally beyond the Same and having a portion of their lower ends Closed by the Said lower air Chamber and the remaining portion being open to the atmosphere.

4. In a heating Stove, a lower air Chamber, an upper air chamber of lese height than the lower air chamber, a central tube communicating with both ol? Said air Cham! bers and a series of tubes surrounding the Central tube and Communicating with the said air chambers, said tubes extending laterally beyond lthe lower air chamber and having a portion of their lower ends Closed and the remaining portion open to the at-Y mosphere. Y

Y 5. 1n a heating stove, an upper air chamber, a lower air chamber, a central tube communicating with both of said chambers and a series of tubes communicating with the said upper and lower air chambers, Said tubes having a portion of their lower ends closed and the remaining portion open to the atmosphere. Y

In testimonyv whereof I have affixed my signature. f
